EDIT: I just read your edited post SH. Maybe it could be a bit of PR. I think this needs to be looked into some more.

No, they wouldn't object. Look at what Tom Cruise is saying now... oh sorry about the couch jumping, sorry about ripping a new one for Brooke Shields. Don't ask me about Scientology now, just go see the website. Oh sorry. I'm all better now.

It must be CofS's new procedures for people in the spot light. No fantastic/fanatic behaviors. Blend in with the rest of the world. Make small apologies for earlier "enthusiastic" behaviors and promise to be more civilized from here on out. Pretend to be like everyone else. Remember always that the world is watching you, and those "damn SPs" (Anons et al) are watching so closely, videoing everything, and putting it up on the Internet. PR is everything.

We are the architects of our own lives. Design and build the life you want.

I totally agree. She has to blend in. She still is doing scientology's dirty work. She is just being more sneaky about it.

Well then this means that the Co$ is actually starting to really learn & react to their mistakes.

Hopefully it is "too little, too late" but just in case it's not, anonymous and the rest of us are going to have to watch them even more carefully!

There is no reason to single out Mary DeMoss Panton for criticism. She has obviously struggled in her life and with what she did on behalf of Scientology. Just as Tom Cruise did, many Scientologists are trying to communicate with Culture and make an apology of sorts and a gesture that says they have heard and understand the criticism. Only time will tell if this a Global Shore Story or if Scientologists are sincere about stopping the things they did from a place of Arrogance and thinking less of non-Scientologists.

If there is any way we can peacefully meet Scientologists, I am open to it. They do have to stop certain of their actions. They have to stand down in their war to destroy Psychiatry and "Clear the Planet" when the Planet has no desire for the type of help they offer. It can't be all one-sided as Scientologists want. We, the critics, are communicating valuable information that Scientology rejects out of hand. And are we listening to them? When they actually communicate we do. But far too often we meet as opponents and so there is no opening to communicate in a way that would actually make a difference to either side. Scientology has the power to save itself if its people are to open to a frank and honest discussion about Scientology. The fact is that what Scientology has been doing does not work. If Scientology persists in its present point of view, its continuing state of collapse will persist. Scientology argues for workability and yet, in its present form, CoS is not workable. Scientology's leadership has failed. Certain of LRH's policies have failed. Scientology must change.

I would like to see, and participate in, a Summit for Peace in which Scientologists and Critics meet for three days and begin to talk out our differences. Prices are way down for meetings. Everyone pays their own way and both sides mutually declare whatever resort we meet at to be neutral ground, a Geneva.

I suggest Palm Springs or Rancho Mirage in April. We could have a lunch on top of Mount San Jacinto.

Is it possible that Scientologists and Critics could meet and communicate? I say yes. There is no reason why a Summit could not be held.

Jason Beghe said it himself -- some of the best people he knows are in Scientology. It was just a violation of his own integrity to stay part of that group. I know a lot of great people in Scientology, and they have the same needs as everyone else: a need for acceptance, belonging, and a feeling of purpose.

What we are fighting is a set of bad ideas, not individuals. The individuals could talk to critics and have constructive dialogue, if they can only overcome their fear.

You're so screwed, so screwed, the Way to Slappiness is the way to flappiness.

Now brainwashing becomes very easy to understand if you
understand the principle of survival. And the way to get this
thetan in trouble is to make him do, and think he has to
make an effort to do, the thing he is doing, and therefore he
engages continuously in an effort, but he can't do anything else
than what he is doing, but to tell him that he has to make an
effort to do it is the biggest trick that can be played upon a
living being. You got that? If you know that well, you really
– you really got your wits wrapped around something. Now,
that's more important than ice cream sodas and a lot of
other things.
